Splitting a dvi output in X

[djscribble]

Greetings,

I have a card that has only a dvi output and a splitter that will split the 1 dvi to 2 vga outputs. Is it possible to configure X to send 2 screen outputs through the splitter and if so How??

Thanks

djscribble,

The DVI output connector also contains the analogue video output signals, so you can use either.
Does your video card support two independant displays, or only one dispaly that can be connected to either the digital output or the analogue output?

Knowing the make and model of the Video card would help provide a more detailed response.

Sorry for the lack of info...

I have a radeon 7000 which has both a vga and a dvi-i output on the card, i would like to further the split by splitting the dvi into 2 vga so that i can have a triple monitor setup, below is my current working dual-display, however with my current display settings, i am not able to have both monitors on the vga-splitter, but rather, one on the splitter (output 1) and one on the built-in vga.

thanks again

djscribble,

I can't find any information that shows the Radion 7000 can drive three displays.
This page
suggests that the analgue and digital outputs contain the same data.

OK, so if there isn't a way to do a triple display, is there a way to tell X to use the DVI output for both screen 0 and screen 1?

Thanks

djscribble,

No, it a single output. It cannot be split
